I had chance to chk both sides of conti tires but cannot find anything where made.

 

So far i only encounter this on continental tires. All other tires i chk n its mentioned.

 

All i see is.......german technology.

[Grix17]

continental is good

 

 

I totally agree.

 

Their tyres are good in all aspects and have no weaknesses, apart from being slightly costlier.

 

Of course there are some tyres with better dry grip but in SG wet grip is more important, and Conti tyres never disappoint in this area.

 

Braking is also one of its other key strengths.

 

For evidence, I have used Conti CSC3 and CSC5 and can testify to this.

Bridgestone has rather good steering feel and good dry grip in general.

I have not used Michelins or Pirellis though.

You have to check thoroughly. These days, tyres are made everywhere around Europe. Usually, those are alright.

 

However, some of the Conti tyres are parallel imported and may come from other countries and may not carry any warranty. I have been warned by one of the more honest tyre dealers. I think the main supplier is Stamford tyre, so it wouldn't help going there to 'check out' their tyres to familiarise yourself with the officially imported ones before getting them elsewhere.

 

Online, you can check out Tire Rack. Under the Specs you can check the countries in which some of the tyres are made. Other than Germany, I know they are made in Czech Republic and Portugal, among other EU countries.

[Ironboydave2]

was quoted $832 all in for CSC 5. is the price ok..

 

[JX83]

I tried before Bridgestone re001 last time and conti csc3 still prefer csc3 though.. Bought a set of csc5 2nd hand hopefully is as good as csc3.. Have yet to install yet..

[Wongkxsgate]

s001 still feels more grippy

[Dfx16]

Recommend me which's the better rubber, S001 or CSC5

I travel to KL frequently doing 160km/hr and above

I prefer a grippy rubber and can does above avg wet condition

Country of made secondary for me
